Not giving Ellison a pass but I’ve seen players & coaches cuss at officials in many games
and NOTHING is said about that – not to mention cussing at opposing players !
We’re talking about a grown man getting upset because an Official calls him a name –
what is he a kindergartner on a playground?
Are players allowed a “double standard” when it comes to verbally abusing someone OTHER than an opposing player?

This is a colossal mistake. No matter what the ref said, there is no scenario where a player can get away with threatening a ref, especially if that ref is being disciplined for saying something.

This is going to show players, that if their feelings get hurt, they can threaten an official, the official will get reprimanded and nothing will happen to them. This gives players and coaches a work around for complaining about the officials and not getting punished.
